original cast of hope despair musical - a million lifetimes away lyrics
(byakuya)
i do!
but let me tell you something
when you grow up like me
this is nothing like
being told at three years old
you were engineered for greatness
it was dog eat dog, k!ll or be k!lled
be a peasant or be famous
my sisters and my brothers
fought to control the family name
but now that i’m an only child
you could say i won the game
you never could hope to do
what i’ve done in a short lifetime
this case is already through
yes, i’ve got it under lock and key
so follow me and try
not to look likе such a loser!
the view of thе world is so much different
when it’s so down bellow
nothing is safe
from being part of everything that i know
you’ll never reach me
might as well preach me
i’d say your best bet is doing whatever i say
cause while you play
i’m a million lifetimes away!
(makoto, spoken)
is this a secret room inside the library?
(byakuya, spoken)
filled to the brim with goverment secrets i knew by kindergarten!
read…
(makoto, spoken)
oh god, what is that?
(byakuya, spoken)
the many victims of an infamous serial k!ller that goes by the name of genocide jack
(makoto, spoken)
why would you show me these without warning?
(byakuya, spoken)
oh, don’t be such a baby… look closer…
are there any patterns familiar to you?
try to connect the dots
as i did before the belt chinmed
[?]
there may be a heinous murderer
it’s him, or her, or me
but i’m pretty sure not you!
with a fl!ck of my wrist
i could rid the world of hunger and woe
but, don’t you think
if i wanted to i would long ago?
you’re not assisting me as an equal
this is a god stepping in
to show his people away!
so get down and pray
a million lifetimes away!
nations rise
governements fall
all of it seems unbelievably small
such is the lament
of the 1%, of the 1%, of the 1%!
(makoto)
isn’t lonely at the top?
don’t you just want it to finally stop?
(byakuya)
the part of me that made mistakes
has been k!lled by tax rates and beef stakes
and dance breaks!
[instrumental]
try as you might
i am living on a whole different plane
i have survived
recognizing only one can remain
sooner or later
i’ll have enough here
finally enact my plan
and prevail in the game
till then i stay…
a million lifetimes
away
